Listen now
Description
By popular demand, I have recorded a series of episodes to help you learn or recognise common French slang expressions. As you may know, the French you learn in the classroom and the French you hear in the street or in the movies can sometimes sound quite different! Warning : in this episode, I've gathered some very familiar, common French expressions around pee, poo and fart. Not appropriate for children’s ears (or if you’re easily shocked). Vocabulary and Spelling of the French Words mentioned in this episode Emmerder "Les non-vaccinés, j'ai très envie de les emmerder" (E. Macron) « Arrêtez d'emmerder les Français » (Georges Pompidou) Je t’emmerde Faire chier (ça) fait chier, j’ai perdu mes clés à la plage. / J’ai pas envie d’aller à ce dîner, ça me fait chier / madame Martin me fait chier avec ces questions débiles.
